Bayern Munich chairman Karl-Heinz Rummenigge says the contract of coach Louis van Gaal could be extended beyond 2011.

Rummenigge tells DSF television the Bundesliga club wants continuity and if van Gaal is successful he could stay in Bayern longer than the end of his contract on June 30, 2011.

After a difficult start, Bayern has won its last 13 games and is still in three competitions - the Bundesliga, the Champions League and the German Cup. Rummenigge says van Gaal and the players now understand each other better.
